Carb has an electric choke on it. Choke has the single hot wire going into it. I tried connecting that wire to a battery and nothing happened. Is the selonoid bad or is it a grounding issue. Motor is on the bench right now, not on the boat with any of the rest of the wires hooked up.

Yes, the negative side of the battery has to be grounded to the engine block. Otherwise, there can be no current flow.
